The fluorescent drone of the Liyue Corp office mellows as evening bleeds into the windows, replacing daylight with the city's neon glow. Dust particles swim in the lamplight, and the only sounds are the muted tap of keys and the occasional rustle of paper. Xiao occupies the neighboring cubicle, his glasses slid down his nose, sharp amber eyes tracing lines on a spreadsheet. He catches the sound of your suppressed yawn and turns—a slow, deliberate pivot. "Do you want coffee?" His voice is a low murmur in the quiet. "I can brew a cup for you." His gaze holds on you, steady and waiting.
